The corruption of this fascist administration has been evident before Trump took office for the second time. He will probably not live long enough to suffer significant consequences. His son in-law is young. I hope to live to see the day of his conviction. I think vengeance is an unworthy cause. In Jared Kushner's case, I am willing to make an exception.
Interesting to know it wasn't just Netanyahu and the DC AIPAC crowd who'd swayed Donald into a shooting war. Well them and Donald's KGB controller, Vlad Putin.
Read recently that the Yale Budget Lab (?)...or somebody reputable, calculated the total cost of the GOP wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at eight trillion dollars. That's $8 *trillion.*
MoreBS from the same monarch that had Jamal Khashoggi murdered for Wash Post investigations of Jared K⁉️ The filthy rich delight in having patriotic commoners fight and die in wars designed to preserve unchecked power. "Traitors" barely hints at their callous depravity.
“Oddly, the New York Times story does not mention that Trump’s chief negotiator, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is being paid tens of millions annually by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is controlled by MBS.”
The shade! The Times really is a ghost of itself at this point, so this slayed me.
Good thing Iran isn’t relying on the NYT to understand Kushner is compromised. If only his father-in-law was as savvy…
At this point the only people who don’t know that are folks who don’t want to know. While it’s fair to criticize NYT for not mentioning this or that in a particular article, it doesn’t mean those details are not being reported. NYT runs stories on Kushner’s billion dollar deals and mentions it in other articles. For instance —
• On the 13th - Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy
• On the 26th - Democrats Demand Answers on Jared Kushner’s Mideast Business Dealings
• November 15, 2025 it had a large article on the potential real estate deal with a huge image of the major players all standing behind the model of the development: —Trump Organization Is Said to Be in Talks on a Saudi Government Real Estate Deal
The chief executive of a Saudi firm says a Trump-branded project is “just a matter of time.” The Trump Organization’s major foreign partner is also signaling new Saudi deals. —
The problem is the segmentation of the reporting. Yes, the self-dealing and self-enrichment of the extended Trump clan is bad enough on its own merits, but that’s Jared Kushner private sector businessman.
As soon as Kushner is appointed special envoy in a region where his financial interests are in play this becomes next level, and those interests must be tied in explicitly regardless of where else they’ve been reported.
This is Journalism 101 stuff that should be instinctual to the NYT. Overestimating the ability of the average American to connect these dots would be exceedingly naive. That many won’t care even if they’re informed is another problem entirely, but that’s not the mission.
In articles which include Kushner, I see mentions of his Billion$ from the Saudis. This article never mentions Kushner or anyone influencing what comes out of the WH or the Saudis. It is reporting on what Donnie has said, done & what the Saudis say or sources report about their thinking. Like this:
“Analysts familiar with Saudi government thinking say that while Prince Mohammed probably preferred to avoid a war, he is concerned that if Mr. Trump pulls back now, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East will be left to confront an emboldened and furious Iran on their own.”
You’re lobbying for an entirely different article implying the Saudis don’t know their own interests or make decisions without Kushner. We get a lot of Western interpretations of what goes on in the ME. I don’t think this was intended to be that.
Kushner has lost some clout now that Iran says it will not engage with him or Witkoff due to lack of trust and being "stabbed in the back." Being at the table was his big card.
That is a very weird thing to say the least. Putting “special” in front of job title appears to mean the rules don’t apply. They are executive appointments. Elon was special (very special). But he was a “special gov’t employee” and therefore limited to 130 days - otherwise all the processes must be followed. None of these characters want to do financial disclosures or nomination process. Doubtful they can pass a background / security check. Witkoff is a special envoy to the ME also.
It’s interesting that the ambassadors were all shown the door & many were not replaced. So we have many places without a confirmed ambassador - including the ME where the “special envoys” have free rein. The “special” qualification is apparently being a billionaire with a background in real estate.
OTOH, given the news the past couple days about the documents Donnie stole being “business related” & we can’t be surprised there is a business connection as well as national security. All the specials wish to avoid scrutiny. We’re in deep trouble.
“However, it appears that the evidence against Donald Trump collected by Jack Smith and memorialized in his records is so damning, that even DOJ’s carefully curated production cannot fully excise findings that the President sold out national security to advance his own business interests.” Jamie Raskin
“You’re lobbying for an entirely different article implying the Saudis don’t know their own interests or make decisions without Kushner.”
Your comment ignores the influence Kushner has here. Even if he were completely uninvolved with Iran he would be in a position to influence the administration. And even if you believe, as I do, that he and Witkoff were window-dressing to some degree, he was still sent to negotiate as an envoy.
Kushner was a key player in the Abraham Accords, the mission of which highlights both his vested interests in the region and his influence. He is key connector in any influence the Saudis wish to exercise with Trump.
So, while I’m not in fact seeking a different NYT article than the one written but rather one that presents the full picture, you seem to be seeking a different Popular Information post, something I have no control over. Take it up with Judd, and have a good day.
I want to read different perspectives by different writers. Independent journalists point out how they are different to compete. It’s fairly common. So, no, I’m not trying to change what Judd writes.
The Saudis and other ME countries have long wanted rid of Iran and its threat. Long before Kushner. They are not culturally or otherwise aligned. Saudis and their neighbors are concerned about the aftermath & stability within their own borders. Their concerns determine how they would want Kushner to wield his influence.
“The Saudis and other ME countries have long wanted rid of Iran and its threat. Long before Kushner. “
No one is disputing this. We’re taking about channels of influence they use to accomplish their desires, one of whom is the U.S. President’s son-in-law who profits from helping them achieve their desires.
I wonder if that breeze could include Judge Cannon. She’s the one who enabled Donnie & then put the kibosh on releasing the 2nd volume of Smith’s report. I don’t know if there is a way to get order / decision lifted for the evidence. (These nuggets are from volume 1)
Indiscriminately bombing civilians is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are strictly prohibited under Rule 11 of Customary International Humanitarian Law and Article 51 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. While power plants are sometimes targeted as "dual-use" objects, any strike that fails to distinguish between military advantage and civilian survival, or which causes incidental harm that is "clearly excessive" in relation to the direct military advantage, constitutes a war crime under the Rome Statute.
The fact that Trump, well, his "advisors" know that the ICC is a big threat to their corruption and war crimes. That's why they are trying to discredit and defund its activities. Too bad that all of us can't see or admit it.
Moreover the US also does not recognize the ICC or the ICJ. It has to do with our political parties considering the country to be "Exceptional" and therefore above the law. If and when the US seeks to rejoin the community of nations it should demonstrate its worthiness by rejecting the notion of exceptionalism and joining both bodies.
Of course, Mr. Legume. Thank you for so clearly laying this out.
This is exactly what this is all about. Trump has no other reason to start a war with Iran because people associated with him operate ONLY on a transactional basis and are as corrupt and venal as he is. Look at all of the money, billions and billions of dollars, flowing into his personal accounts held by his family. He has complicit benefactors with the full Cabinet that he appointed supporting his every action together with a Supreme Court that puts their blessing on his every action. The only person that he's been unable to oust is Jerome Powell.
Jared Kushner laid low for a while because he knew that he could be brought up on charges, but there was no mistaking the fact that the $2Billion, that the PIF's own fund managers advised against giving him, was anything but a bribe. Of course he lied about being active in the administration. We have to look at all of the Mideastern region - a totally different cultural set of values in place which operates on a very very different plane of existence , bribing and intimidation with the willingness to eliminate anyone who is thwarting them from achieving their goals of worldwide domination. It's just which one of the sects of religion is going to win.
Kushner is the moneymaker in the Trump family, not the offspring of Trump because Trump is too stupid to do this on his own, and even more diminished now as it's evident that he's well on his way in dementia which will lead to a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease., His own offspring, all of them, are in league with him with no redeeming set of moral values. They're too weak to do anything but blindly follow his path and clearly have no compunction about how many lives they've already destroyed and are continuing to do so.
Kushner also is EXACTLY like his father who was nothing but a criminal himself and was imprisoned until, again, he was given a pardon by the criminal in the White House, and then made an ambassador to France and Monaco where he is reviled by both as he works to undermine both and continue his shady deals. His son lies and misdirects - it's part of his m.o. just like his father. Jared Kushner sold out America long long ago. The problem is that the Biden administration did not bring charges against him.
The axis of evil is not just China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, but includes Saudi Arabia, all of the Trumps, their in-laws and all of his supporters as well including the conservative members of America's Supreme Court, the House and Senate Republicans and every single 'republican' in America who voted for him. 70+Million Americans voted for the most corrupt venal evil administration ever to run our government. We have a very very long road ahead at home and around the world to remove every vestige of this administration including all of his lower level loyalists who are hiding in the corners of our government, something that Biden did NOT do with the people in the departments and agencies who supported Trump, not the Constitution, among the many failures of Biden and his staff.
The answer to the why boils down to Merrick Garland, the AG, who didn't take the necessary steps when he and our legitimate leaders had the power to actually stop this corrupt faction, a nasty corruption that has now infested nearly every part of our government.
Apparently Merrick Garland was a milquetoast who dotted every i and crossed every t and then had five lawyers look for mistakes in his eyes and tees. He didn't walk down the halls of justice, he tiptoed. He was a good jurist and would have made a good SC justice, but the fact remains, he sucked as AG. Especially in light of the danger that the GOP had become and the Twump push and project 2025. You know who would have been a great AG, if we are picking from the small pool that seems to be available? Hilary Clinton. She had fire, and she knew where the bodies were buried. Just saying. Bring it on.
Good stuff, L. D., all visible to the eye for anyone who is awake and watching which you are. Now, let's spin this out to when Judy Vance becomes president and Peter Thiel is the new POTUS whisperer. What will his priorities be? If possible, even more hideous. He will drain America not only of its last cent but of its tenuous hold on democracy. Viva la revolucion.
if trump and MBS push Iran hard enough, Iran may just blow Saudi off the map, which would undermine any partnership kushner and trump share with the murderer MBS.
MBS is the Saudis counterpart to Jared Kushner. Nepo, filthy rich, spoiled beyond belief, given so much power for no good reason. He deserves what he gets which I am manifesting to be exactly what he did to journalist Jamal Kashoggi. Down to the bags they carry him out in.
MBS is the next ruler of S.A. Unofficially, he already runs the country. He's who Trump dreams to be; with Intelligence thugs with bone-saws ready to murder people who piss him off.

The scale of corruption is something that would have landed a person in jail 40 years ago. Nowadays, all you need to do is kiss up to the king (lower case used on purpose) and tell him what a gorgeous person he is, with a brain of a genius, and he will sacrifice morals, reputation, and even dead soldiers just to get this praise.
Hell, he'll even grab the USA by the pussy, it's allowed in his "circle"...
He was born without morals, has the reputation of a mob boss he has cultivated for himself, and has stated that soldiers are losers. He grabs the voters by the pussy and the balls. Once he has them he won't let go. He does not have dementia. This is simply a term people give him to explain his depravity. He has always been what he is today.
That's possible. And it's also possible that both things are true at the same time. It's hard not to see that Trump's ramblings are getting worse day by day.
Be real Jerry, he only grabs half the country by the pussy, and only those who are young and attractive. Don't make things up. The rest he merely has disdain for, your genitals are safe.
So does Israel. Netanyahu has tried for years to get the US to go to war in the ME. They are determined to take over as much territory as possible from their neighboring countries while continually playing the victim.
Previous US presidents have been too smart to take the bait. Trump sees money in this war that will land in his and his family’s pockets. The deaths and injuries of our servicemen and women is a price he is willing to pay. As long as none of the cowardly Trump family is in any danger.
For decades, the US has been sending our young people to die in "wars for hire" for the interests of oil companies and false "allies." But this level of corruption is newly horrifying.
Yop, as long as we can fill our tanks with gasoline, we take the BS the leaders dish out. And, let's face it, if we had bombs dropping on Virginia and Massachusetts and Florida and California every night, we might think twice about who the f we are fighting. And why.
That's funny. Good point. I'm paraphrasing here, but didn't someone point out that the USA is a country sandwiched between Mexico and Canada, where Israel grows soldiers to fight in their endless wars?
Everyday. New reports seem to pop up that 5000 marines are on their way, 2000 marines have been sent, 1000 paratroopers have been sent. Add it up. All human lives are precious except, apparently, our men and women in uniform, and everybody we don't like this week.
The corruption of this fascist administration has been evident before Trump took office for the second time. He will probably not live long enough to suffer significant consequences. His son in-law is young. I hope to live to see the day of his conviction. I think vengeance is an unworthy cause. In Jared Kushner's case, I am willing to make an exception.
It's not vengeance, it's accountablity, and I want to see it, too.

Oh T knows. They all know.
Trump having the keys to the US Treasury, command of the US military, and no morals is a dream come true for many foreign governments.
Indiscriminately bombing civilians is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

You sound surprised! I am surprised you are surprised.
I assumed MBS was a murderous oligarch, not devoid of his faculties, cognizant that Middle Eastern wars never remain in one place.
If he isn’t a madman, murderous oligarch has big plans. These reports keep me up at night:

Agreed, background is always relevant.
The scale of corruption is something that would have landed a person in jail 40 years ago. Nowadays, all you need to do is kiss up to the king (lower case used on purpose) and tell him what a gorgeous person he is, with a brain of a genius, and he will sacrifice morals, reputation, and even dead soldiers just to get this praise.
Hell, he'll even grab the USA by the pussy, it's allowed in his "circle"...

Once he has them he won't let go. He does not have dementia. This is simply a term people give him to explain his depravity. He has always been what he is today.
That's possible. And it's also possible that both things are true at the same time. It's hard not to see that Trump's ramblings are getting worse day by day.
He's also a pedophile protector.
Be real Jerry, he only grabs half the country by the pussy, and only those who are young and attractive. Don't make things up. The rest he merely has disdain for, your genitals are safe.
Half? Maybe 15 or 20%. There are a lot of misinformed and ignorant voters, but I hope not half of the country… smile.
Get this information to the general masses.
Thank you for your no-holds-barred approach to the news, Judd.
The Saudis want the US to fight their war!
So does Israel. Netanyahu has tried for years to get the US to go to war in the ME. They are determined to take over as much territory as possible from their neighboring countries while continually playing the victim.
Previous US presidents have been too smart to take the bait. Trump sees money in this war that will land in his and his family’s pockets. The deaths and injuries of our servicemen and women is a price he is willing to pay. As long as none of the cowardly Trump family is in any danger.
For decades, the US has been sending our young people to die in "wars for hire" for the interests of oil companies and false "allies." But this level of corruption is newly horrifying.
Yop, as long as we can fill our tanks with gasoline, we take the BS the leaders dish out. And, let's face it, if we had bombs dropping on Virginia and Massachusetts and Florida and California every night, we might think twice about who the f we are fighting. And why.
MBS sending Saudis to fight?
That's funny. Good point. I'm paraphrasing here, but didn't someone point out that the USA is a country sandwiched between Mexico and Canada, where Israel grows soldiers to fight in their endless wars?
Do you think Trump will escalate?
Everyday. New reports seem to pop up that 5000 marines are on their way, 2000 marines have been sent, 1000 paratroopers have been sent. Add it up. All human lives are precious except, apparently, our men and women in uniform, and everybody we don't like this week.
Thanks. So sad.
The $50k question is whether or not we deploy troops in strength to occupy Kharg, and more importantly, Qeshm.
My money is on Yes.
continued... a traitor to the Constitution and humanity?" Trump says, "No, that makes me smart."
The trump administration is a sea of money grubbing con men who are swimming in money. TIME TO SEND IN THE SHARKS.
Maybe Orcas? The twump maladministration and it's hangers-on are the sharks and remoras in my opinion. Orcas are shark killers!
